We should be grateful to Pope Francis for appointing Cardinal Robert Sarah to guard the Church’s liturgy, Benedict XVI has said.
In an afterword to Cardinal Sarah’s new book The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise, the retired Pope gives a rare endorsement of a serving Church official, saying that the liturgy is in “good hands” with the cardinal as prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
Benedict XVI praises the book, saying that the cardinal “teaches us silence – being silent with Jesus, true inner stillness, and in just this way he helps us to grasp the word of the Lord anew.”
